Water coming into a basement bedroom. We believe the exterior drain that is supposed to remove water along the foundation is collapsed or inadequate. We have tried ruling out the gutters and downspouts. This happened in 2010/11 and the blocks were drylocked on the inside. A section on the exterior blocks were exposed and tarred/tarpapered. The room is carpeted and carpet will be reinstalled.

Only thing was I was expecting our sunroof to be raised back completely and it still slopes. The crew did explain that I can call and get posts adjusted when all settles. I don't think it will sink anymore though.

PolyLevel™ Concrete Leveling & Lifting

The sunken and cracked concrete around your Cullman home is both an eyesore and a safety hazard. It is also likely to get worse, but we can fix it for you.

Our experts use PolyLevel, a superior polyurethane foam. Small holes are drilled in the concrete, the foam is injected and the expanding foam lifts the concrete. The majority of contractors you will call use mudjacking instead of foam. Mudjacking is heavier, require larger holes in the concrete and does not last as long as PolyLevel. Call us today to learn more.

Push Piers Support System Stabilize and Lift Foundation of Cullman, AL HomeA stable home is a happy home, but over time the foundation on which a home was built begins to settle. Not only does this cause water to seep through the foundation, if not fixed

A stable home is a happy home, but over time the foundation on which a home was built begins to settle. Not only does this cause water to seep through the foundation, if not fixed it could have serious effects on the foundation of your home. Luckily, when homeowners Ricky and Penny L. found they were having foundation troubles, they knew exactly whom to call.

The couple called Alabama Foundation Specialists who sent out Tim West, a foundation repair specialist, to their Cullman, AL home. After talking with the couple, Tim evaluated the foundation, both inside and out. After a careful examination Tim deduced that the couple had a settling foundation that needed immediate action. Luckily for them he had an ideal solution. Tim recommended the installation of Push Piers around the outside of the foundation. Push Piers utilize high strength round steel tubes and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and lift sinking or settling foundations. The pier is installed against the existing footing and the piers are driven through the foundation and deep into the soil. Using the structural weight and the contributory soil load as resistance the piers begin to lift the home and foundation troubles end there.

With the recommended product agreed upon, Tim called in primary foreman Alan Jobin and his crew to install the Push Pier repair systems. Stability is one of the most important aspects of a home, and thanks to the professionals at AFS, Ricky and Penny’s home will stay stable for years to come!

Cullman, AL Basement Takes On Water: Waterproofing Products Save It

When Scottie N. of Cullman, AL found that his basement was taking on water and it was severely damaging his basement, he knew immediately that he needed professional help. After flipping through the channels on his television, Scottie came across an advertisement for waterproofing and foundation repair from AFS whom he decided to immediately contact.

That same week, Scottie was met by waterproofing specialist Michael T. Long of AFS to evaluate Scottie’s basement. After an evaluation, Michael realized condensation was seeping in through the foundation and had no where to be drained. He recommended the installation of a TripleSafe sump pump and Waterguard XL Drainage System. The TripleSafe sump pump is a patented product designed with two built in pumps and a built in battery backup sump pump for ensured drainage throughout the heaviest of storms. The WaterGuard XL is a drainage system installed around the perimeter of a basement to catch water that seeps through the wall. Traditional french drains are installed below the footing, and over time, dirt and plant roots among other things clogs the drain. WaterGuard’s unique design puts it on top of the footing, eliminating clogging. It also has a big drain outlet connected to the installed sump pump, making sure the oncoming water is successfully redirected. Michael also recommended to Scottie the installation of a FloodRing around his water heater. The FloodRing is a drainage accessory that is installed around a homeowner’s water heater to protect the basement from any possible leakages associated with the water heater. It is connected to the drainage system that is installed in the basement. A ThermalDry wall system and a SaniDry dehumidifier were also recommended for installation.

After evaluating what was going to be done to his basement, Scottie agreed to the installation of the recommended products. Michael called in primary foreman Luis Gazca and his crew to complete the installation process. Within two days, Scottie’s basement was drier and cleaner than ever and Scottie was ready to fully utilize his basement in the future without the threat of water damage.
